One World Away COMPLETED (Book I)

Scipes'

"Welcome to my house twerp!!!" Scipes shouted at my face.

I blinked at the amount of saliva she spat on me. I was chained to the chair but my right arm and left arm were free.

"Here!!! Have some hot chocolate!!!" She said.

She slammed a mug on the table in front of me. Then she rapidly poured how water in my glad splattering me every now and then. She ripped open the chocate packet and shook it violently into the cup. I coughed and spluttered at the chocolate cloud covering me.

"Stir..." She said menacingly. She grabbed a spoon and stirred violently. It splashed me

"There!!! There's your chocolate!!!" She said.

I took the cup blowing on it gently.

It sort-of tasted good. In a weird way. My tongue burned because it was really hot but the taste made me ignore it.

"Good huh?" She said. She wasn't in her armor anymore.

She was wearing a dark green T-shirt that showed her bellybutton, black jeans, brown boots. More casual but she still scared the heck outta me.

"You ain't the only one who had a liking for hot chocolate." She said sitting on a chair beside me.

"What... D-do you... Mean?..." I asked gently placing he cup in the table.

"Geez, Stop stammering and speak up and talk properly!!!" She told me slamming her fist on the table.

"YES MA'AM!!! I SAID WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!" I shouted at her. Hey, she asked for it!

"Good! Speak up got it? You know, I have a bestie who loves hot cocoa and tea." She said. "Sadly, we don't get to see each other much seeing as she has to work for Geist Heda."

"Who is Geist Heda?" I asked her.

"Pssh. They're the smartest people in the Hearth. Geist is a scientist. And my bestie is an engineer. A chemical engineer." She said.

Suddenly she looked impatient.

"Wait a minute-" She violently shoved her chair to the wall and it smashed into pieces.

"What is it?" I asked her.

"Do you have Pepper's phone number?!" She said.

"Yeah. I do." I told her.

"Gimme it!!! She's late!!!" She said.

I quickly pulled out my phone and dialed Pepper's phone number.

"Hello? Pepper? Sci-"

"Yes, yes Heather! I'm getting ready for my meeting with Scipes!!! I don't know what you'll tell me but tell me later!!!" She said hurriedly. There were several crashes and muffled shouts in the background.

"But Pepper that's-"

"Later ok?! See ya!!!" She shouted into the phone.

"Wait!!!"

CLICK!!!

"She knows, she's on her way." I told her putting my phone back in my pocket.

"Right, trust Pepper to be late." She grumbled.

"Why do you need her actually?" I asked.

"She thinks I know about fashion but I teach her fighting. She can be pretty naive at times but she is very confident. Also responsible and persuasive." She said.

"Huh." I said. I rocked the chair back and forth.

"You know, your name is somewhat a kind of anagram." She said.
